Jimmy Dore has had a huge influence on me in the last 10 years. He is a stand up comedian and one of the most important and honest video journalists of our time. He does his YouTube show out of his garage, but he is kind of a big deal (1.3 million subscribers). Jimmy's show is not G rated.
So this video is about red meat not being bad for you, AND it is about how poorly these medical studies we all study are done. They also talk about good diet basics, good doctors, and why drug companies advertise so much (it is not to help them sell drugs).
I think this video has a lot of important information and wisdom, but Jimmy's show has an edge, so if you find it not your cup of tea, please just stop the video.
Edit: It looks like YouTube did not like Jimmy's video. Fortunately, Rumble is fine with it: rumble.com/v4d46kc-red-meat...

scientific studies are not reliable, that is the truth. I was reading one recently about whether, I think it was citicholine and carnitine supplements cause atherosclerosis. I believe those were the two, but the study I’m going to tell you about was only for one of them. The study used two groups, the womens group was from 1980 for a specified number of years, but the mens group was from 1986. That was odd.
they eliminated certain people from each group if at the beginning of the study… the person had cancer for example. That is perfectly reasonable. But if the person developed diabetes with cardiovascular disease during the study, then they eliminated that person. That is not reasonable. They are manipulating the data.
This was a retrospective study meaning they just looked at data that had already been reported. Basically these groups of people answered a questionair every six months about what they were eating. It also asked them questions about medical diagnoses. Nobody remembers what they ate six months ago. That is ridiculous. Their focus was on eggs and meat because in the real world that is where the natural form of the substance they were looking for would occur. No one was taking the supplement under investigation. When all was said and done, these “investigators” reported that the supplement substance was associated with increased atherosclerosis. Removing people who developed atherosclerosis related diseases, let’s say if they were vegan, would skew the results. What researchers do is give the results to statisticians who break down the groups into multiple sub groups and remove any if they realize that would make their numbers look better.
There are other substances in meat and eggs besides the one that was supposed to be the subject of study. And the substance may well exist in other foods. they relied on people remembering what they had eaten six months ago when they answered a questionnaire. This study was, as we used to say, garbage in and garbage out.
I read a study about the safety of Stevia with regard to the kidneys. After all the data was collected, the results showed that Stevie did not affect the kidneys but it did raise liver function tests. The researchers did not report the adverse effect of Stevia because they said they weren’t looking for elevated liver function tests. So why did they do the liver function tests. Who knows but people are using that study to say that Stevia is safe. It is important to read the studies yourself and understand what they mean.
We can no longer trust researchers, there’s a scandal right now concerning three Harvard researchers and fake data. We cannot trust medical journals who are controlled by people like Fauci who have a vested interest in the results. We certainly cannot trust the FDA as they get big money from pharmaceutical companies.
Your doctor cannot possibly read every article about every disease. He relies on medical journals which we now understand are corrupt. We need to protect ourselves the best we can, but we can’t read everything either.
Most scientific studies agree with whoever is funding the study which is predominantly Big Food or Big Pharma. If a study is likely to show Big Food or Big Pharma in a bad light then it will find it very hard to find funding.
When I was a kid I read this famous book: How to Lie with Statistics. It showed me how toothpaste companies would keep running small sample studies on their toothpaste's ability to fight cavities until they got a study with great results. Then they stop the studies.
Red meat is NOT bad for you but bad for your bank account. At 40$ a pound buys me 50 pounds of potatoes. Guess that's why they call it the diet of Kings and Queens. Or go hunting for road kill.
Had take out last night. Beef with bitter melon and sticky rice single portion 32$. And very little meat. Won't be doing that for a while. Good thing Valentine's Day is only once a year.
The MIND diet is supposed to be the best diet for PD patients according to Dr.Mischley. You can have Red meat no more than 4 times a week. That surprised me! It says 1 time a week is better but it's flexible. Fish once a week, chicken twice a week. I get a little concerned PD makes us obsessed with what we eat. We need to keep our weight up and have a good balanced diet.
Pwp and I eat what we like - red meat, white meat, fish, bacon, ham - summer salads - winter soups and veges - real butter, cream, whole milk, fizzy drinks, pwp has a very sweet tooth so anything goes. Typically 3 nights meat and vege/salad - 1 night fish and salad/chips - 3 nights light meals eg: bacon, lettuce, tomato - burgers with salad - quiche and salad - toasties or under the grill - in winter lots of home made soups. Both at normal weight - blood pressure good - active as we can be with afflictions in our 70's ( physical) - don't get flu's or covid - keep our immune systems charged up - in other words disgustingly healthy😉 I do not eat until midday ( intermittent fast) - pwp eats after he has had acv and before he has his 1st meds for the day ( this can be anything he feels like) and has no issues with his meds with this regime. To my mind do what suits you and bugger what the "experts" think!
I agree. My husband and I are not diabetic. He has PD and I have my own medical issues. Our lives are very restricted in many ways. We are not adding dieting to it. We are not eating fast foods and chips (that kind of thing) , but beyond that, we eat what we want.
I appreciate Dr.Mischley, but a lot of her research is like that discussed in the video: Questionnaires asking people to recall what they ate. And then, for things like Dairy, they lump all types of dairy together, both fermented and unfermented. I suspect she leans on previous studies (that we see may mean nothing) in choosing what is best also.
I bought the MIND diet book but haven't followed it. I figure if I'm working hard to stay fit, I'm going to eat what I want. I have always had a healthy diet and been very heath concious. What's weird is I have been less concerned since my diagnosis. I used to avoid sugar now I love sugar 😋
"Lately, studies have shown that patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) report a strong craving for sweets and consume significantly more fast-acting carbohydrates than healthy controls. Consuming food with a high-sugar content is assumed to lead to an increase in insulin concentration, which could positively influence dopamine concentration in the brain and unconsciously be used by patients as kind of “self-medication” to compensate for a lack of dopamine in PD. On the other hand, high-sugar intake could also lead to insulin resistance and diabetes, which is discussed as a causative factor for progressive neurodegeneration in PD. In this critical appraisal, we discuss the role of sugar intake and insulin on dopamine metabolism in patients with PD and how this could influence the potential neurodegeneration mediated by insulin resistance."

This is good to keep in mind. I do love chocolate.....I eat a couple pieces a day. I'll try to keep a limit on it and not go overboard. Thanks for the article!

Is late night snacking a symptom of PD or something else? Is it a concern? + Need stability for insomnia
I'm going to test Dr. Bredesen's theories on myself. Anyone else interested? Here's a brief introduction:
